Jay-I found a DVD recorder that accepts all kinds of inputs at best buy
for $99.00. Records up to 6 hours on a DVD.

As for what I want, I know I'm getting something from sportys. I know
because saw the packages, and I made sure I circled the video's and
books I wanted in their catalog and showed it to the wife.

now, getting something for my WIFE is a problem. She's too busy being
back in school for hobbies, and she's not into bling, she claims she
doesn't know what she wants for Xmas. About the only thing I am getting
her, at her request, is a foot pedel for transcribing. She also wants a
floor lamp (and most them are junk). Today is my "last chance" to find
something before Xmas.
